Naveed Akram Poems

Inside my vessel called the mind
I venture forth into many lands;
They are reflected in the mirror
As I stand and stare to fulfil myself.
...

The heated eyes stare longing to destroy,
Yesterday they beamed on me worse.
The eyes smacked a glance of affluence,
The ears of mine beckoned a sound of hearing.
...

The wonder of the soul enlarges
To fill hills with mountains of gold;
This virtue of the whole fish
Is lightly felt, but humans tread
...

In the sky above one rests tonight,
Impossible stillness embarks on its
Journey to the night-sky, past the stars
Of milk and grease so pure and lovely.
...

The heart has a tongue so bright, so red with muscular strength
And able to converse with what is right and correct, with spiritual travel.

The conversations are bigger than stories of the most ancient,
...

Rehearse this puzzle to obtain mercy
Internationally and globally, with all people.
Being present, the whole scenery is a mercy
To the senses of sight and hearing.
...

I learn sometimes in my sleep when I wink,
Or when I stand tall, suppressing only some of my thoughts.
To sit is learned; affected by love the soul weeps,
Fasting will occur as the soul weeps further.
...

Your reliance on my vision instils murder,
The murder comes from the dirty mind.
Murder is the culmination of centuries of work
And fulfilling is the question, so wonderful is the crime.
...

May winning be absurd to the lame,
A limp has beaten the way so often;
The paths too trodden are the fair,
Bent on land, the legs have trekked.
...

The poets are collected by their grace,
Poems after poems connect, convect and direct;
Words are worthy of sparkle and splendour,
Diamonds avert the disaster of a trade,
...
